If you put things inside the
vehicle — like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything
else — they will go as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to
stop or turn quickly, or if there
is a crash, they will keep going.
{ WARNING
Things you put inside the
vehicle can strike and injure
people in a sudden stop or
turn, or in a crash.
• Put things in the trunk of
your vehicle. In a trunk,
put them as far forward
as you can. Try to spread
the weight evenly.

WARNING (Continued)
• Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,

some of them are above
the tops of the seats.
• Do not leave an unsecured
child restraint in the
vehicle.
• When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure
it whenever you can.
• Do not leave a seat folded
down unless you need to.
